'We never intended to hire you': Company calls job candidate into office to take a test, only to tell them they never intended on hiring them in the first place

Companies will play on your feelings and mess you about, and often you won't be the wiser. So many job listings today don't exist. Companies post them to make it look like they're growing their business, or because they want to do some market research, or get free labor. There are so many reasons you can't trust the hiring process nowadays, but when you're looking for a job, you have no choice but to play along until you get an offer. That can take months, if not longer.

This candidate showed up to a job interview and did a test that they were required to do. They soon discovered that the hiring team had no intention of giving them the job… so basically, they wasted the candidate's time. I'm surprised they were so honest about it, too. Usually, I just get ghosted. Scroll down to read the full story, and how the candidate decided to reply. Then, here is a funny thread about employees who had quite amusing customer encounters at work.
